About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
Modern Diner. Global Fare. Delicious Fun. This is The Mockingbird. Led by talented culinary duo executive chef / partner Brian Riggenbach and front-of-house extraordinaire / partner Mikey Corona, The Mockingbird offers a menu of comfort classics with a global twist and an ambiance of art deco diner whimsy. Walls are covered in beautiful custom-made wallpaper, painted tin tiles on the ceiling, windows open to two patios as weather allows and a larger-than-life mirrored bird sculpture overlooking the dining room. And then there’s the food and drink! Munch on a Mockingburger or Mac N Cheese (aka Feeling Grate!) while sipping an Old-Fashioned-ish or a Punchin’ Bag (ask about it – they are famous!). We also love hosting group events! We have a private dining room, an upstairs dining room and an enclosed patio, all perfect for bridal showers and bachelorette parties plus business lunches and corporate dinners. Y’all come see us! **Reservation cancelation policy is strictly enforced**

    We loved the Bulgogi Steak and Chicken Fried Chicken! We also loved how the kid’s dinners were served in these retro “tv dinner trays!” So fun! Thanks for the good vibes!

    Place was dirty - seats had food stains all over them. Bacon was 90% fat and the rest of the meal was just ok. They serve drip or iced coffee only. Waiter was the redeeming part of the meal - smoked, courteous and attentive.

    Mockingbird is always a great choice! We joined for brunch and enjoyed the bagel bombs, breakfast sandwich, and French toast - all were fantastic. We are already eyeing our selections for the next time we visit. As a pescatarian, I’m always grateful for the number of veggie options that they have available!

    It was frustrating that they had no evidence of my reservation, but accommodated us anyway. It was a beautiful restaurant and we were visiting from out of town, so had never been there before. We told them we were celebrating a graduation and Mother’s Day, the day before. Two out of the three of us, received the wrong food and had to be sent back and fixed. They did so willingly, however, and it was all fine.

    We had a fantastic time at The Mockingbird. I got the Caffeine Me cocktail which was delicious. We got 3 appetizers to share: the Brie, da’ bombs and the cinnamon roll. They were all so good. My favorite was da’ bomb. Our waiter recommended the burger which was delicious. We also got the chicken and biscuits too. Overall, the food was great, the service excellent and the atmosphere very enjoyable.
